With roots in blues-rock and psychedelic rock, the bands that created heavy metal developed a thick, heavy, guitar-and-drums-centered sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion and fast guitar solos. The All Music Guide states that "of all rock & roll's myriad forms, heavy metal is the most extreme in terms of volume, machismo, and theatricality."[2]
Similarities, no?

Pretty much what Starving Artless said.
Just because two seperate genres decided to speed up two
different existing genres doesn't mean anything. The two styles developed independently of each other, as anyone can tell by listening to them.
Metalcore is hardcore influenced by metal. Crossover is punk influenced by metal.
